Does anyone else have a physcho mom???

Question

my mom loves to beat me down. every day all i constantly hear is what's wrong with me. she makes me feel so self conscious and so bad about myself it really is starting to take a toll on me. i just don't understand why she's always mean to me, never my little sister. sometimes i just hate living because of her. it's getting to the point where i'm wondering if she has a mental issue. life just sucks right now, and i just wanna know if anyone else is miserable because of their insane mom?

Answer 1

if you know shes doing it then when you can get away from her get away from her. Surround yourself around people who make you feel good. Its not gonna have a good effect on you if she keeps doing it so talk to someone close to her about it. maybe then can talk to her about it.  

Answer 2

I do.

She constantly nags at me and b*****s and complains and so on.

When i try and stand up to her she beats me down as well, heh no wonder my self esteem is so low. Fortunately she rarely takes it out on either of my 2 younger siblings tho.

Answer 3

This happens. Call her out on her behavior if you can... if not, talk to the counselors at school and see if you can get some help. This is verbal and emotional abuse. She is taking out her own lack of self esteem on you. Yes, it is a mental issue. You will need professional help to address it.

The only other thing I can suggest is to ignore her yak, but keep off the radar by doing the basics (clean up after yourself, do your chores and get good grades) and then staying out of sniping range. Unfortunately, you are stuck with her rules as long as you live in her house.

If you are old enough to hold a job, please do so. Save your money so you will be able to launch out of there as soon as you are 18 and have graduated. You will need deposit money for apartment and utilities.

Get into any vocational programs your school offers. Look into career education at the local community college and any financial aid programs available. The education will give you the ability to earn more money. The job references you can rack up in the meantime help build a resume.

The idea here is to make the best use of your time to put your mom in your rear-view mirror. Your sister will have to either care for her in her old age, or become the next target.

Answer 4

Answer 6

You for sure need to talk to someone or you will be totally affected by this. Your Mom needs help and someone in your family needs to help make sure this is done. I am sorry that you are going through this honey, Good luck to you!
